Baffles my mind that people can think a controller is better than a mouse in all cases just because it's "designed for gaming" (read: designed for variable control while being stuck on a controller), but yes, games like this one are perfectly suited for dual analog sticks. You should play this using a controller.

That's obviously not the case, I doubt anybody thinks that! But doesn't it baffle your mind also how gamepads are frequently regarded as being unsuitable for PCs just because they happen to be the primary input device for consoles?

A lot of people definitely do make that argument, and yes, I think what you mentioned is wrong too. Absolutes are just senseless in general.

actually when aiming with stick - you can FEEL direction you aiming (because you tilt the thumbstick). And with mouse you FEEL changing postition where you aiming. So probably it's easier to aim with a stick because your aiming angle is relative to the ship. Mouse aiming is relative to the screen, that's why it suits FPS and TPS a lot better. But your PC can do all. Your console do not. But gaming is not only about controls. I can't imagine two person with two keyboards and two mouses on the single table to play this game (it has damn fun local cooperative modes), but I can imagine how it can be played on couch with two controllers. Actually controllers need some more time to get used to. And inbefore flaming: PC is not about KB+M, PC is about possibilities TO DO IT ALL. Controllers, TVs, monitors and keyboards, mods for games, work and creativity, fun and games with your friends. People started to forget that. And so devs started to forget that most of the times... This is not the case anyway, sorry for offtop
